New Laws In Kentucky
KENTUCKY...
People who violate domestic violence orders in Kentucky could be required to wear ankle monitors under a batch of new laws taking effect. Judges would require the GPS monitors only in what they deem the most volatile cases involving people who have violated domestic violence orders, allowing authorities to keep electronic tabs on them. That's one of more than 200 laws passed in the 2010 legislative session, most of which take effect July 15. Some of the most hotly debated will ban motorists from texting while driving and allow felony rape charges to be filed against prison guards who have consensual sex with inmates.
